I've had a very strange and busy nine months since I last blogged here. Going back to Uni, health issues (I won't bore you) and a change of job, but I am working towards getting a DCC train set up and running. I'm just not sure how.

I also got distracted by a birthday gift of a Lego train set. Being a fan of Lego, I already had a 9 volt train from about 15 years ago. This is one of the new radio controlled types. I've augmented the set a bit with two bonus tanker wagons and changing the cow in the open wire-frame wagon for a scrap metal load (actually Lego technic spars and Lego Bionicle bits). Anyone who complains about Peco or Hornby set track spacing should have a gander at Lego for a rigid system without any give.

Here are some photos just for fun

Lego is very easy to customise. Not sure about weathering, though.
